Chapter 182 Will there still be people farming in the future?
Li Chen was speechless about Pan Sicheng's behavior.
But thinking about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
Many times, if people in the village are anxious, they will solve the problem on the spot.
Of course, there were still many such situations in the past, but now there are really not many.
After all, every household still has a toilet, but relatively speaking, some people are indeed more casual.
"Don't talk about this anywhere for now!" Li Chen said, "Especially not to the two little guys!"
"Don't worry, I can still do this." Pan Sicheng assured, patting his chest.
Even he, an adult, was frightened when he saw this scene, let alone a child.
"You...can really communicate with movements?" Pan Sicheng hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking.
The main reason is that the impact of this incident is a bit big, and even normal people cannot accept it.
Li Chen hesitated and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect that I actually have this kind of talent. When I found out, I was still shocked."
Seeing that Li Chen seemed to be "a little frightened", Pan Sicheng breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm just saying, how could he be fine?
I guess I was also very scared!
Pan Sicheng comforted him: "Actually, this may not be a good thing. Others in the vaudeville troupe may not have this opportunity in their lives."
"You're staying in the countryside anyway, so it's good to have this skill!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the endless mountains behind him and said, "There are no shortage of ferocious birds and beasts in the mountains and forests. The reason why they haven't come out is because times have changed."
"Perhaps even if they are interested, they might actually come down. It's a good thing that you have this skill."
"..."
Li Chen found that Pan Sicheng's brainstorming ability was quite strong. To be honest, he didn't even think about how to make it up.
As a result, Pan Sicheng was married to him just like his grandfather.
There are indeed many good people in the world!
"Now that you're up, help me with some work!" Li Chen grabbed Pan Sicheng and said.
"Ah..." Pan Sicheng let out a long yawn, "Brother Chen, I'm still growing, and suddenly I feel so sleepy!"
He wanted to slip away, but unfortunately, he was caught by Li Chen.
"Come on, I have a lot of fields. Today we are mainly planting potatoes!"
"..."
"Don't be so discouraged. Young people should be more energetic."
"..."
"I grew this and sold it to your Pan family, don't you want it?" Li Chen asked with a smile.
Pan Sicheng said with a sad face: "Yes!"
"That's what you're talking about. Come on, come on, I'll teach you..."
Regarding the matter of grabbing a free labor force, Li Chen said that he was very familiar with it.
Pan Sicheng expressed his reluctance at first, but as he continued to do it, he suddenly felt that it was okay again.
Mainly because he discovered that these skills were something he couldn't learn before.
Even though the winery has nothing to do with these, as he worked with Li Chen, he gradually became able to distinguish them.
Including how to put down potato seeds, it turns out there are still a lot of things to pay attention to!
Since he could learn something, even if it was a bit of torture, he said he could accept it.
Now, the land contracted by Li Chen has already been cultivated.
These lands have been re-divided. If they are no longer contracted in the future, they will be re-divided.
Large and large fields are connected together so that they can be used effectively and rationally!
The key is that large fields can be sprayed and harvested in a unified manner.
The fields are too ridged and have ups and downs, which makes them not very useful.
Nowadays, they are all big fields and they all look relatively comfortable.
Growing potatoes is indeed a very arduous process, mainly wasteful.
Don't think nothing will happen in a short time. If you bend over for a long time, your lumbar spine will feel very sore.
After a while, you may feel like you can't stand up.
"Ouch, ouch..."
Pan Sicheng was already sitting on the ground in an inconspicuous manner. The ground was still very wet, and he didn't care whether his butt was wet or not.
It was this waist that made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Li Chen twisted his waist three times to the left and three times to the right. There are only a few people who do farm work who have no problem with their waists!
"Slow down, let's not panic!" Li Chen pointed to the time, "We have only been working for less than an hour. The sun has just come out. Work harder and work for another hour."
When Pan Sicheng heard this, he lay directly on the ground.
In less than an hour, he was already dead.
If you work for another hour, wouldn't it cost someone's life?
An hour later...
Pan Sicheng used his hoe as a crutch and followed Li Chen staggeringly, looking like an elderly man.
"Brother Chen, wait for me..."
He vowed never to waste food again.
Only after hard work did he realize how difficult it was to grow some food!
The key is that he used to think that the food was too cheap.
I bought it with my own money, so what if it was wasted?
However, after really experiencing it, he realized that this was really not something that ordinary people could endure.
When he and Li Chen were planting potatoes, Li Chen said something that was very thought-provoking.
Pan Sicheng still remembers it clearly.
Li Chen said that now, as the older generation who can farm are getting older, the middle-aged and young generations have gone out to work. When the middle-aged and young generations get older and the young people become the backbone of society, there should be very few people who are still farming in the world.
In the villages, a large number of fields are abandoned.
Countless big cities have risen, and steel forests have become the mainstream.
However, the land for farming is getting less and less.
People are living more and more difficult.
Although the farmers in the past and now cannot get rich, they at least live a fulfilling life.
In the future, the skills that have been rooted in their bones for thousands of years may be lost.
He doesn't know whether this is a good thing or not?
Pan Sicheng has never thought about this question, but now he thinks about it carefully.
When everyone has no ability to support themselves and can't even do basic farming, they will rely on buying.
Is this really a good thing?
When countless steel forests stand, will it be the best at that time?
Pan Sicheng doesn't know, or doesn't know how to refute.
Everything has its pros and cons.
However, he suddenly felt that Li Chen's worry was not unreasonable!
Nowadays, it seems that food is sufficient, but the area of cultivated land is really very small.
What's more annoying is that the black soil in the north is so rare and precious.
But some beasts actually steal and sell black soil. This thing only grows one centimeter in fifty years.
And these thieves only sell it abroad at a price of fifty cents per pound.
This is the land of the granary.
Now that the soil has been taken away by others, what about the future?
When there are fewer people farming, will there be more crazy guys who sell these things at all costs?
